Most of the images in this series are three-dimensional re-creations of houses, environments, and scenes from my childhood. Buildings, furniture, landscapes, foliage and all other items are 3D creations which have been rendered into 2D images. In many places I have used old photographs as the inspiration for the scene and I have rebuilt the environment from the photograph or created wholly new environments using a number of software applications. Then in some I have inserted the images of my family into the renderings using Photoshop. My goal has been to create images that tell stories and give the viewer a stronger sense of place or the event or of the characters involved. I have aimed for the rough edges and the layers of dark and light. I have tried to move beyond the photographs to something not better, but just more illustrative of how things seem from the perspective of today.
